Autorenporträt
Karen Gross is an educator and an award-winning author and artist. She has written adult and children's books, many of which are trauma sensitive/ responsive. She specializes in student and organizational success across the educational pipeline and focuses her attention on students who are traumatized or otherwise at risk based on socio-economic status, race or ethnicity. She has worked all along the educational pipeline - with early childhood educators and professors and academic leaders as well as students at all ages and stages. Her work has included policy makers, including serving on the Biden Campaign Domestic Policy Committee (focusing on student mental health). She teaches in the continuing education program at Rutgers School of Social Work and serves on the Advisory Council of Rutgers Graduate School of Education's group on Minority Serving Institutions. Recently, she participated in the Army War College's National Security Seminar from which she received a Certificate in Leadership Development. She has a trilogy of adult books on trauma. The initial book, Breakaway Learners, published by Columbia Teachers College Press in 2017, describes and examines a new concept she developed called "lasticity," a comprehensive approach and process for enabling student success that is distinct from (and an extension of) concepts such as resiliency, grit and mindsets. The next book (also from Teachers College Press 2020), Trauma Doesn't Stop at the School Door, extends the arguments from Breakaway Learners into settings where lasticity is absent and needs to be advanced and nurtured. The latter book has been used in a variety of settings during the Pandemic to help institutions deal more effectively with the Pandemic induced trauma. It also won the Delta Kappa Gamma Educator Book of the Year Award in 2021. Co-authored with Dr. Edward K.S. Wang, her forthcoming book and the third in the trilogy focuses on Pandemic positives and is titled Mending Education: Finding Hope, Creativity and Mental Wellness in Times of Trauma. It was released by Teachers College Press in 2024 and completes the trilogy of books on trauma. The newest book is filled with the voices of educators and strategies that can improve educational outcomes in the midst and aftermath of a crisis.
